Toilet Time!!

We are just now entering into the week of Christmas and it seems like we have been celebrating for a year with all the fun stuff we have been doing!

We built our 1st Gingerbread house which was alot more work than I would have ever imagined ( especially if your a perfectionist...lol) There was no way to make the house look anything like it was supposed to with what they gave you in the box so I pulled out my frosting bags and tips and away I went! Jaxton LOVED decorating and I was totally amazed at how particular he was with putting the candy on....he is gonna be my STAR student!! He wanted to "Do It Again"...but my hand was cramping from all the frosting squeezing....next year I will buy many little ones!!

Ross and I celebrated his birthday with a nice dinner out and I am happy he is my age now!

We saw Santa again this year and Jaxton did great....I didn't know if he would sit in his lap but he did and with a BIG SMILE ( thanks to Mr. Sucker too!)

This past weekend we traveled nearly 3 hours to Palestine to ride The Polar Express with his cousins and had a fun time. I expected more from it BUT Jaxton had fun and that is all that mattered! They served hot cocoa, sang Christmas Carols and Santa visited them on the 1 hour train ride. Jaxton loves the bell Santa gave him and hopefully that will be a good reminder!

Jaxton sure has been enjoying this holiday season! Santa's, reindeer, Mint M&M's, and Elfie are his favorite things! Every time he see's a gray-haired woman anywhere though he says " Mrs. Claus!!!!!!!"..... I am so thankful all those gray-haired ladies have been so nice back...LOL! The toilet flushing and "opening the top" have continued.... can't wait to see the water bill!!
